Hello again,
As I have stated in my introduction, I have read many posts in your history. Many people have come on here and ask you how to bid when starting out. So, I will not ask you that because it has been covered very well.
You have made it clear that the Big Box stores paint is not as good as they advertise, but you explain why that is so. I think my learning curve through your knowledge is growing fast.
Many discusions on brushes and roller sleeves and that is just something I will need to decide on through trial and error, kinda of like choosing a putter for golf. There are thousands of different ones and you gave to decide for yourself.
My first questions is about Binders and thinners. I have never thinned my paint with water or anything else. I was taught that it put to thin of a coat on the walls.
Binders? Never heard of them.
Since I have not been doing this professionally all these years, and I've noticed that some painters provide bids with a good, better, best quote, I was just wondering what that exactly pans out to.
1) good, better, best Paint or
2)Good, better, best prep
Some people I know would rather you
a) clean Walls and stick on paint.==Good or
b) Sand, patch nail holes, clean walls and paint=Better or
c) Blend in patches, fix blemishes, plaster any and all holes, sand smooth, clean and paint = Best
Do I have this correct.
Sorry for the length, I am just so happy to find people willing to help newbies.
